	The Independent Weekly: Passion and strife
		Blind Boy Fuller was a favorite at these house parties, playing with washboard and harmonica players for set fees and free booze.
		Gary Davis, blind from childhood, had been playing guitar many years by the time he settled in Durham, and his playing was so impressive that the legend spread around town that he, following the now somewhat hackneyed Faustian blues story, had sold his soul to the devil to allow him to play so well.
		Blind Boy Fuller, ready to sin in a blink should the moment call for it, stuck in the blues vein right through to his last days--days which were not long in coming.

	Remastered V.2 - Blind Boy Fuller
		The technique was appropriate to the melancholic nature of the song but Fuller kept its use in check, thus leaving ample opportunities for Sonny Terry to embellish the song with a mixture of sensitive interplay and the whooping falsetto flourishes for which he was known.
		Although the latter didn't have a session to himself, four of the twelve masters allocated to Blind Boy Fuller were in fact released as by Brother George And His Sanctified Singers.
		When Fuller's first records were released, the Trice brothers quickly made his acquaintance and when Fuller decided to break his existing record contract to record for Decca, the brothers went with him to New York to make their own debuts.

		Fuller and his wife moved to Durham in 1929, where he supplemented their income — she was a domestic worker — by busking on the streets of Hayti and outside the city’s tobacco warehouses, as well as playing at house parties.

		Blind Boy Fuller, en gravant 139 faces durant les 5 ans de sa courte carrière discographique (et en vendant plusieurs centaines de milliers de 78 tours !) a été un véritable catalyseur qui devait façonner le Piedmont Blues.
		Blind Boy Fuller a donc écouté les disques de guitaristes tels que Blind Blake, Carl Martin, Blind Willie Walker, Buddy Moss ou Papa Egg Shell et de bien d'autres.
		La carrière de Blind Boy Fuller n°2 s'arrêta bien vite, en raison du faible succès de ses disques auprès du public et les sessions d'enregistrement suivantes furent effectuées sous le nom de Brownie McGhee.

		Fulton Allen (1907 - 1941) went blind by age 22, and became a street musician to help support himself and his young wife.
		In stark contrast to the moody, personal blues of contemporary Robert Johnson, Fuller's songs are mainly upbeat, party blues, closer to the later rollicking blues of Willie Dixon.
		Fuller here borrows from many sources, including Blind Willie McTell (what exactly is it about blindness and the blues?).
